Feb. 18, 2014: CertainTeed Introduces New Moisture Managing Insulation
Insulation Lets Walls Breathe to Help Maintain Dry, Healthy Indoor Environments
VALLEY FORGE, Pa. — CertainTeed has introduced SMARTBATT™ with MoistureSense™ technology, a new kraft-faced fiberglass batt insulation that the company says contributes to healthier homes and buildings by intelligently managing moisture.
CertainTeed said the first-of-its-kind MoistureSense technology is a smart vapor retarder. It adapts based on moisture levels in the wall cavity, blocking moisture from entering when humidity is low and allowing the wall to breathe when it senses high humidity that needs to be released, helping reduce the potential for mold and mildew growth.
